I can pretty much say with certainty Kirk Hammett never owned one of these having followed his career since ye olde day. Back when he didnt own so many guitars, most appeared in photographs at one time or another. Still in 30 years of following him I have never seen it and it doesn't really strike me as the type of guitar he would own.

As you've said it was pretty strange for me too that there aren't pictures of Kirk Hammett with this guitar.

For sure is not a Custom finish from the catalogue, this one has been hand painted (with a closer look you can see the brush strokes on the surface) while the production graphics was printed on the bodies.

The Chris DeGarmo option could be the right one, along with the one that Kirk Hammett never had the time to play this guitar if it was stolen before he play it.

I'm trying to reach Kirk Hammett staff, included his guitar tech to have more informations.
